Saturday 9: Morning Train

Saturday 9: Morning Train (1981)

 

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) In this song, Sheena Easton sings about her lover, who takes a train to and from work each day. When is the last time you took public transportation? Where did you go?

A. I can't remember the last time I took public transportation. Maybe on a vacation when we took a tour in Asheville? That would have been in 2008.

2) His workday begins at 9 and ends at 5. Do your days stick to a predictable schedule?

A. No. I get up about the same time every morning and go to bed about the same time every night, but the stuff in the middle is a muddle.

3) In the evening, she sings that they may go to a movie, a restaurant or slow dancing . . . whatever she wants. Which of those would you choose?

A. A restaurant.

4) As a little girl, Sheena Easton performed at family gatherings, not just because she was talented but because she could be a bit of a ham. When you were a kid, were more often shy or outgoing?

A. I have always been shy, which considering what I have done in my life is weird. I was in a rock band, and I was a news reporter. I don't think those are high on the list of things to do for shy people.

5) In the late 1980s she was the spokeswoman for Bally's health clubs. Do you have a gym membership?

A. I do not have a gym membership.

6) In 1987 she played Sonny Crockett's love interest on Miami Vice. Were you a fan of the show?

A. Not really. I watched it a few times but it wasn't "must see" TV.

7) This weekend is a good reason to have a picnic or barbecue. The best-selling barbecue sauce flavors are sweet, spicy, and smoky. What's your favorite?

A. I don't eat barbecue often so I do not have a favorite.

8) Labor Day weekend may offer a golden opportunity for napping and sleeping in. Do you snore?

A. Sometimes I snore. My husband calls them "kitty cat" snores.

9) Labor Day traditionally marks the beginning of the fall. Will you be adding any new fall clothes to your wardrobe?

A. Adding new clothes to my wardrobe is not planned but it is something I need to do.
